The Department of Biological Sciences at Clemson University invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in animal physiology at the Assistant or Associate Professor level, to begin August 2012. This is a revised version of the ad posted in November 2011. Candidates who have already applied do not need to apply again, their applications will be given full consideration. A PhD in Biology or a related science is required. Postdoctoral experience is highly preferred.
We are seeking a broadly-trained biologist whose research emphasizes integrative approaches to improve understanding of physiological adaptation and organismal function. Specific areas of research are open, but we particularly encourage applications from individuals whose work includes or combines comparative, developmental, molecular, biochemical, ecological or evolutionary perspectives. The successful candidate will be expected to establish an innovative, externally-funded research program, thereby supporting University emphasis areas in Biomedical Science and Sustainable Environment. Excellent teaching is also expected, with responsibilities including one undergraduate course in comparative physiology and upper level/graduate course(s) in ones specialty. Applications should include a curriculum vitae, a statement of current and planned research, a statement of teaching philosophy and interests, names and contact information for three references, and no more than three reprints. These documents should be merged into a single PDF file (no more than 8 Mb) and sent by e-mail to physiosea...@clemson.edu, with "Physiology Application" in the subject line. Preference will be given to applications received by January 11, 2012, with review to continue until the position is filled. Further information about this position, departmental resources, programs, and faculty research interests are available at: http://www.clemson.edu/biosci and http://findjobs.clemson.edu.
